Intelligent Advanced Communications IP Telephony Feasibility for the U.S. Navy. Volume 1
Abstract
The purpose of this research paper is to research technologies and solutions supporting the communications infrastructure necessary to implement an integrated VoIP (IP telephony), Video and Data infrastructure on U.S. Naval vessels. This report is based on a collection of extensive research topics: * L3 Henschel internal research * Commissioned research papers * Vendor responses to a formal questionnaire * U.S. Navy vessel specifications * Government documents focusing on network security and implementation. Major findings for implementing an integrated VoIP (IP telephony), Video and Data infrastructure on Naval vessels: * The technology is becoming pervasive within the commercial market sector. * Implementing an IP solution on U.S. Navy vessels is feasible and achievable. * Due to the unique requirements of the U.S. Navy, there is a staged implementation planned from feasibility to proof-of-concept (FY08 phase 2), followed by evaluation in a Navy lab and Navy ship (FY09 phase 3). * Benefits of an integrated VoIP (IP telephony), Video and Data infrastructure are space and weight savings of 50% and cost savings of 25% with additional features and functionality. * There will continue to be major investments in this infrastructure under an Open Systems Architecture consortium, thus enabling wide availability of COT's products. * The integration of VoIP (IP telephony), Video and Data will be secure as detailed by Bell Labs and Defense agency publications.
